A study shows the mutations could lead to a treatment of one of the world’s most lethal cancers or stop its progression.
Dr Levi Garraway, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says the discovery represents an initial foray into the dark matter of the cancer genome.
The researchers say the cancer-associated mutations are the first to be discovered in the vast regions of DNA in cancer cells that do not contain genetic instructions for making proteins.
